CAPITAL
Mr.. EDITOR
Thy paper, yestereve. dear sir,
In words of wisdom truly spoke,
OF hops and dinners and the like:
And Euchre parties for young folk.
But let this not astonish thee,
For thus the world has ever been;
AS silent dead might testify
If once on earth they could be seen.
The more a mortal pleasure finds.
The more he surely pleasure seeks;
AS If for pleasure man was madcf
To follow up all fancy's freaks.
A pity is it not, indeed,
That after life's most rapid race
The grave our merry Beaux and Bellies
Shall tightly grasp in its embrace?
But let the merry ones not sigh
As pleasure will not cease to be;
For other folks will take their place,
And time will rou on merrily.

Shipping Produce.

President T. F. Baker, of the New
Jersey Horticultural Society, gives the
following directions on shipping pro-
duce to market: Men who can produce
large crops Of good quality often fail to
get the best price because they do not
SO arrange their stuff as to command
the attention of purchasers in the mar.
ket. The eye and ear being the most
sensitive organs in mans organization,
fruits and vegetables should be so ar
ranged so as to attract the eye, so that
the person attracted will buy and relate
in his friends ear what he has seen.
The package should be clean. neat and
handy and stenciled with the owners
name. Never ship poor stuff in your
stenciled package, but let it go for
what it will bring as stranger in the
market. Since there is always SO much
poor stuff in market, nothing pays bet
ter with most crops than careful assort
ing. A reputation for honest packing
and good. quality should be acquired
as soon as possible. Pursue one course
of quality and packing until market
men learn that your brand is a guaranty
of quality. Those familiar with the
condition in which much stock reaches
the market will understand why so
much stress is continually put upon
this point. Where stuff is shipped to
commission merchants, it is sold on its
merits. Hence all the more reason for
securing a reputation for brand. 1t
not only quickens the sale, but also en-
hances the value, because dealers have
confidence in the brand.

topography of the country, taking care
that the taxable property Of each local
district should conform as nearly as
possible to the miles of road within the
district. 1t would then be made the
duty of each local road district to elect
three of its tax paying members to con.
stitute local board which should have
power to levy the necessary amount of
tax on the property in the district and
collect the same to keep the roads in
order in their respective districts.
They should have power to close old or
open new roads within their respe ctive
districts, and to appoint supervisors to
make and mend the roads, the salary of
these local commissioners to b., one dol
lar day while in session which shou ID
not te oftener than bi-monthly,
unless in cases of extraordinary emer-
gency.
This contemplates local and geuer.
al management of the roads, and those
innumerable little by-roads which eat
up the county taxes, would be placed
entirely in the hands of those who are
most interested in them. Every man
who paid tax to mend them would see
to it that the money was not wasted
and every road that was not needed
would be speedily closed. If dual
system similar to the above were estab-
lished half the road tax now wasted
might be saved. 1t would at least in
sure good roads, as every district would
have to raise the tax to keep in order
Its roads, the minimum of expense
would be made to suffice, and stitch
in time would be the motto under which
all would act. The main roads after
being made under the direction of
skilled engineer could be kept in thor
oughly good condition by the County
Commissioners at comparatively
small cost. All flew main roads to sup
ply general travel and transportation of
the county if made permanent would
cost but little to maintain them in that
condition, and comprising but limited
number of miles the County Commits
sioners could give them the proper
oversight, while the main bulk of the
roads being purely local would be kept
in much better condition at vastly
less expense by entirely local manage.

In Brief, And To The Point

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregu-
lar habits, and many other things which
ought not to be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptcs.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus:-
ness and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember happiness without heath
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspep,ic. Ask your
your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-fye

Prof. Sanborn, speaking of practical
butter rations says: Early cut hay, cut
from ground drained by nature or by
art, nice sweet fodder, corn or corn fod-
der, bright clover hay with the leaves
all saved, sound corn-meal and a few
carrots will make the best of butter in
amount. aroma and texture. Bran will
cut down the quantity and quality of
the butter, especially if given in large
quantities. speak of it as a substitute
for corn-meal. There is no substitute
tor line ground corn.meal, not crushed,
but -four ofcorn. The energy of cows
must be turned to milk production and
not to corn grinding, nor to carrying
two pounds of corn to digest one with
its interference with digestion. We
cannot afford to grind thirty cent corn
for steers, but for cows we can. Oats
will not give the color to the butter
that corn will, while the oil meals give
a less desirable color and poorer texture.
A small amount of cottonseed meal is
favorable to quantity if large amount
of corn fodder is given, and in small
amounts not ceusurable. Two to three
pounds day is all that 1 would desire,
while ten pounds of meal in total is
enough grain.

Sowing Wheat.

Early sowing gives chance for the
plants to become we'll rooted, the better
to endure the winter, but where the
Hessian Fly abounds, this is offset by
the longer season it is given to do its
destructive work. This is q matter that
must be governed by the locality. Elk.
cept upon newly cleared land, wheat
should not be sown broadcast. Not
only is there great saving of seed in
using drill, but that deposits the seed
at an even depth, and secures a more
regular stand.

TIE Arkansas Senate organized Monday by the election of Hon. D. E Barker Of Drew county as presi- dent and Mir. John c. Holland as secretary. The house al our latest report was not organized. The race for speaker lay between HudgIns oi Boone and Hewitt of Lee, with the chances in favor of the latter, al though the former seemed to be leading in the number of votes poll ed. The republicans most generally voting for him. We knew as soon as we heard Hudgins' name men toned for speaker, the man would have a fight on his hands who got there before him. Mir. R. ".

BLAYK petitions have been rec

BLANK petitions have been receiy- cd by some of our citizens with the request to circulate them and obtain signatures with view of having them presented to congress asking that the revenue tax be taken off of whisky and tobacco This is scheme by the protectionists by which they hope to save their pet darling, the protective tariff. If they get this tax taken of of whisky and tobacco, they think it will so reduce the pub lie revenue as to make 1t impossible to interfere with the present tariff rates. That is they see the hat has gone forth from the people to cut public revenues down to the limit of government expenses, and in order to protect the eastern manufacturer in his bonus on the actual necessl- ties of the people of the whole coun- try, they try to jump in and take il of of whisky and tobacco something the people are not obliged to have and would be better without. The protectionists see this is their last chance, for the next congress will havo hpt few damocratS in if hnt what will yield to the parties will, and unless their scheme is worked through Ill this congress, they know It is doomed. But it will fail. The people are anxious about what they eat and wear and not what they chew and drink. The former they are bound to have. The latter they can do without if they will. Let the duty come of of the necessities.

From Maine.

Some years ago my mothers health began to decline; nervous prostra- tion ensued. Sue had no relish for food and could not sleep, and with out strength of course she could not walk without experiencing great fatigue. We used the ordinary rem edies, but without any permanent results. Stimulants would refresh for the time being, but did not build up the system. We heard of Swift's Specific and it's tonic effects. We secured several packages of the dry form-the powdered roots and herbs -and after using some half dozen packages my mother has regained her health and strength. Sue is more like her former self than she has been for years She owes her present vigorous health to Swift's Specific. It IS the best tonic ever heard of.
